Clson and Downey Capture California; Pardon for Mooney - Indicated.
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 8 (U. P).— Governor Lehman staved off a determined Republican challenge and was re-elected to a fourth term by a plurality of only 67,446 votes over Manhattan’s youthful District Attorney, Thomas E. Dewey. Senator Wagner (D) was returned to his post as the author of New Deal legislation in the Senate by a margin of nearly half a million. Governor Lehman’s margin of votes over Mr. Dewey dwindled as returns from last rural precincts came in, but his margin was safe. With all of the state’s 9035 election districts in, the unofficial vote for Governor was: y Lehman .....c.c00e0ee 2,387,629 Dewey ..... aes a 2,319,583 Although the entire. Democratic state ticket was re-elected, Republicans gained complete control of the Legislature and increased their representation in Congress by two House seats, making the New York state lineup in Washington 26 Democrats and 19 Republicans.
Earle Is Swept Out
In Pennsy Landslide
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9 (U. PJ). —Pennsylvania’s “little New Deal,”
“first Democratic Administration in
nearly half a century, was swept from office in Tuesday's balloting, almost complete returns showed
today. An avalanche of Republican votes
re-elected U. S. Senator James J. Davis with a majority of nearly 400,000 over his Democratic opponent, Gov. George H. Earle. ’ With a smaller, but decisive majority, Superior Court Judge Arthur H. James, was chosen as the Republican successor to Governor Earle in January. He defeated Charles Alvin Jones, Pittsburgh attorney. . Tabulation of returns from 7663 of the State’s 8079 precincts gave: For Senator—Earle, 1,614,650; Davis, 2,002,323. Davis lead, 387,673. Tabulation of returns from 7667 precincts gave: For Governor — Jones, 1,668,544; James, 1,959,793, James lead, 291,249. Tabulation of —each additional district increased the Republican leads as the 4,655,000 registered voters gave their verdict on the state and national administrations of Governor Earle and President Roosevelt. In addition to the Governor and U. S. Senator, Republicans elected a lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs in the state-wide balloting. -
New California Governor May Pardon Mooney
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9 (U. P)). —Culbert A. Olson captured California’s governorship in Tuesday's general election and thereby became the first Democratic Governor in 45 years. Shortly after the Republican Los Angeles Times conceded victory to Olson and his running mate, Sheridan Downey, the Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate, it was learned that one‘ of the new Governor's first acts would be to pardon Tom Mooney. : Olson himself declined to discuss the affair of Mooney, whose fight for freedom has been a political thorn to many a California Governor, but an associate said that the apparent Governor-elect would issue a formal statement at noon on the subject. Shortly after midnight Olson made a “victory speech” over a radio station and Downey, who advocated the famous ‘“ham-and-egg” ‘pension plan of $30 every Thursday in the primary contest with Senator William G. McAdoo, proclaimed that “victory is mine.” . The candidacies of both Downey and Olson had the indorsement of President Roosevelt who described both men as “liberals.” The fate of the hamyand-egg pension plan remained in doubt although apparently the voters were rejecting it. — Returns from 7672 of the State's 12.472 precincts gave for Senator: Downey (D), 491,156; Philip Bancroft (R), 420,656; Lillian Clements, Socialist, 3743. Returns from 7672 precincts gave for Governor: Olson (D), Merriam (R),
547,004; 468.247;
Governor Raymond
_. Haight (Prog). 25,387, and Robert
Noble (Commonwealth), 6990. Mr. Haight withdrew from the race after winning his party’s nomination; but his name went on the kallot.
La Follette Goes Down
In Wisconsin Election
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 9 (U. P.).—Wisconsin rejected Gov. Philip
" F. La Follette and his new party,
Olson of California
the National Progressives of America, today and went Republican. In returning the Republican Party to power. for the first time since 1930, Wisconsin voters retired one loyal New Dealer, Senator F. Ryan Duffy, D., in a show of strength that threatened Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr., with the fate of his Governor-brother in 1940. They also marked up victories in Congress, state offices, and the Legislature. returns from 2693 of 2995 precincts for Governor; La Follette, 305,403; Julius P. Heil, 459,347; Harry W. Bolen, 66,3617. La Follette’s new party, dramaticaliy announced by him last April, dragged him down to defeat, if the! explanation of one old-time La Follette adherent is typical. “I've always voted for La Follette,” he explained before his ballot went into the box, “but I'm not going to this time. He wants to be President —and he wants to get there too fast.” The 41-year-old Governor gathered all liberal groups, including Wisconsin’s Socialists, to his cross-and-circle banner, insignia of the NPA. His opponents effected a stronger coalition, with the naturally conservative Democratic party swinging most of its vote to Mr. Hill. Alexander Wiley, a Chippewa Falls attorney who entered state politics for the first time as a candidate for Governor in 1936, was elected U. S. Senator succeeding Duffy, who ran third. Lieut. Gov. Herman L. Ekern, La Foilette’s hand-picked candidate, ran second to Mr. Wiley. Returns from 2694 precincts for Senator: Duffy, 201,327; Wiley, 385,051; Ekern, 217,965. Indications were that the state's present ‘Congressional delegation of seven Progressive and three Democratic representatives would be hslf Republican in the next Congress,
‘Very Much Encouraged,’
Declares Hamilton
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee, in a statement early today, said that he was “very much encouraged” by the showing made by Republican candidates in yesterday’s election. . He said that it was too early for him to appraise the results, but added: “I just want to thank all the Republican Party workers who toiled, not only for their party but also for the best interests of their country.”
Oregon Republicans Leading by 20,000
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 8 (U. PJ). —Oregon returned to the Republican fold today fairly conclusive returns from Tuesday’s balloting indicated the election of a Republican Governor, Senator, and two Congressional representatives. Rufus C. Holman (R.) led Willis Mahoney (D.), who nearly unseated Senator McNary two years ago, hy 20,000 votes for the Senate. Incomplete returns-from 958 of the State's 1681 precincts gave for: Governor — Hess (D.), 55,355; Sprague (R.), 85,235. Senator—Holman (R.), 79,692; Mahoney (D.), 59,113,
Barbour Is Apparent

—Republican W. Warren Barbour

GOVERNOR MURPHY HE
Fitzgerald of Michigan
William H. J. Ely, his Democratic opponent for the United States Sen-
ate. Donald C._Fox, Ely’s campaign manager, congratulated “Senator Barbour . . . on the apparent fruits of his victory.” With all but 39 of the 3557 precincts reported, the vote was: Barbour, 801,623; Ely, 697,564. Barbour led in all but three of the 21 caunties. One of the three was Hudson County, stronghold of Mayor Frank Hague, which gave Ely a tremendous majority. Ely was sponsored by the Hague organization and was indorsed by the New Deal. In Hudson, 496 of 658 precincts gave: Ely 149,975; Barbour 44,527. Warren, traditionally Democratic, and Middlesex, home county of David Wilentz, ' Democrati¢ State Chairman, were the only others where Ely led. Republicans appeared also to have gained at least four Congressional seats. There were 14 congressional races. Ely. had been indorsed by New Dealers and had announced that he was “100 per cent for President Roosevelt.” Barbour had called him a “rubber stamp” and an ally of Mayor Hague. Rep. ‘Mary T. Norton, chairman of the House Labor Committee and a New Deal adherent, was reelected.
Lucas Wins by Big Chicago Vote
CHICAGO, Nov. 9 (U. P.).—Scott W. Lucas, Democratic Congressman, polled a powerful plurality in the wards of Chicago to win election as Senator over the sharp challenge of his Republican opponent; Richard J. Lyons, nearly complete returns from yesterday's election showed today. With the backing of united Democratic factions, Rep. Lucas rode to victory on the strength. of an organization which delivered 51 per cent of the Cook County vote on the straight Democratic line — a new record for party regularity. Mr. Lyons led downstate but his margin was far from enough to overcome Rep. Lucas’ big Cook County lead. The incomplete returns indicated early today that Mr. Lucas had won by a plurality of approximately 200,000 in Cook County. The vote from 7724 of the state’s 8315 precincts gave: Sian eeeeeeese 1,506,565 ee... 1,406,106
The Democratic victory in Chicago apparently assured election of the other candidates on the paity’s State ticket, although Republican gains downstate left control of the State House of Representatives in doubt. Election of seven Republicans, an increase of one, and 15 Democrats in Illinois’ 27-member Congressional delegation, was assured. Democrats held slight leads in four of the. five races remaining in doubt.

Governor Curley Beaten in Massachusetts Election By, Saltonstall.
DETROIT, Nov. 9 (U. P)—
.| Former Governor Frank D. Fitz--igerald swung the state of Michi-
gan, the cradle of the Republican Party, back into the G. O. P. ranks
today with a decisive victory over received warm and repeated support from President Roosevelt. Governor Murphy, the champion of labor and the mediator of the great sit-down strikes of 1937, saw
his hopes of becoming the only Democratic Governor in Michigan since Civil War days to be returned to office dashed under an avalanche of more than 60,000 votes. Mr. Fitzgerald piled up the commanding lead that had been” expected among the stolid and conservative rural Michigan citizenry, then surprised many observers .by preventing Governor Murphy from sweeping the crucial and traditionally Democratic Wayne County and Detroit. : Carries Others Along
Returns from 3368 precincts in Michigan’s 3553 showed: Murphy vesssies 101,812 Fitzgerald Mr. Fitzgerald said he regarded his victory as “a significant indication of what may happen nationally in 1940.” Governor Murphy cheerfully accepted defeat, saying his confidence in the people “is not shaken.” Mr. Fitzgerald was carrying with him candidates for five state offices. Returns indicated that 14 of the state’s 17 _Congressmen were reelected. Five are Democrats, nine Republicans. : Mr. Fitzgerald's triumph denied Governor Murphy vindication of his “peaceful way” method of settling the automotive disorders of last year. In the campaign, the issues had been sharply drawn between Governor Murphy's defense of his labor policies; and Mr. Fitzgerald’s repeated appeal for “return of good government.” Mr. Fitzgerald swung into the Wayne County tabulation with a lead of approximately 110,000. The tabulation in 900 out of 1150 precincts showed Governor Murphy drew 253,132 votes and Mr. Fitzgerald 169,752. Two years ago Governor Murphy carried by 119,000. With only 150 precincts in Wayne County to be counted, there was no hope that Governor Murphy could recoup.
Republicans Win
Decisively in Ohio COLUMBUS, O.,, Nov. 9 (U. P.)— Incomplete returns today assured the decisive election in Ohio of a Republican Senator and Governor, and indicated possible G. O. P. control of the Congressional delegation and virtually a clean sweep of State offices.
Senator Bulkley (D.), seeking reelection with New Deal backing, conceded his defeat by Robert A. Taft (R.), and Charles Sawyer (D.) admitted that’ he had been beaten
by John /'W. Bricker, Republican nominee for Governor. Returns from 8581 of Ohio’s 8599 precincts gave: : Governor—Bricker, 1,258,561; Sawyer, 1,194,855. Returns from 8581 precincts gave for Senator—Taft, 1,249,605; Bulkley, 1,079,180. TE Take Congressional Lead
Republican candidates were in the lead in 13 of the 22 Congressional District contests and appeared likely to elect both their candidates for Congressmen-at-Large. As Republicans elected only two members to Congress in 1936, that would be a net gain of 13 seats and a majority. Both Republican incumbents appeared re-elected. For the first time since 1930 the Republicans gained control of the State Government and elected their first Governor in Ohio since 1928. Their nominees not only swept the State executive and administrative offices, but also seemed fairly sure of capturing the Chief Justiceship of the State Supreme Court and two associate judgeships. A proposed constitutional amendment to make the offices of State Supreme and Appellate Court Judges appointive rather than elective was swamped by negative votes, incomplete returns giving the count as 900,622 against to 426,619 in favor of the change.
Saltonstall Is Elected Massachusetts Governor
BOSTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).—Massachusetts has elected a Republican governor for the first time in eight
years. Leverett Saltonstall, 46-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer-legislator, defeated James M. Curley, Democratic former governor, by a plurality estimated at more than 100,000. Though Curley went to bed without conceding defeat, newspapers that supported him placed Saltonstall’s margin at 75,000 to 100,000. Buried under huge Republican margins in towns and villages, Curley failed to show sufficient strength in his traditional stronghold of Boston to overcome Saltonstall’s lead. : Returns from 1489 of Massachusetts’ 1794 precincts gave Saltonstall 764,000, Curley 631,640. Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., slated
{to become Republican floor leader
if re-elected, led by nearly 3-to-2 in the 14th Massachusetts Congressional District. .
Clark’s Lead Passes 200,000 in Missouri
ST. LOUIS, Nov.-9 (U. P).— Senator Clark (D.) was re-elected to the Senate for a second term today, defeating former Governor Fenry S. Caulfield, his Republican opponent. The vote from 3331 of the state’s 4432 precincts was Clark 549,596; Caulfield 339,000, giving Senator Clark a lead of more than 200,000. Most of the untabulated returns are in territory considered to be at least two to one for Clark.
Nye Apparently To Stay in Senate
BISMARCK, N. D., Nov..9 (U. P.). —The independent hid of Governor Langer for a U. S. Senate seat today appeared to have failed. Governor Langer’s defeat by Senator P. Nye (R) was conceded by most observers when nearly half the state's precincts showed Nye leading by a three-to-two margin. With 1264 of the state's 2260 precincts counted, the vote gave Senator Nye 80,177, as compared to 56,169 for Governor Langer. The Democratic nominee, J. J. Nygaard, of Jamestown, was running a bad third, with 9378 votes. North Dakota voters also appar-

ently had returned to Congress the two incumbent Republican Representatives, Usher L.

Because coke
is a man-made product, you
can be sure of absolute, unvarying quality. In this coke pile every lump of coke is exactly like every other lump of coke. . it consists of 939, solid carbon.
This is important to you. It means that every shovel-full of coke you put in your
furnace will
burn uniformly, with no
‘smoke, and few ashes. It means you'll spend less time this winter tending the furnace because coke is easy to fire, easy to regulate and gives the greatest heating value for your dollar.
